The Governor of Vermont vs. the Pappa Grizzlies

He says he looked out and saw the bears, including two cubs. He tried to chase the bears away, but they kept coming back. Shumlin says he ran out barefoot in an attempt to rescue his birdfeeders. He says one of the bears charged him on the porch.

Dude, the feeders aren't worth getting eaten over. The birds will understand if they have to fend for themselves for a few days. Honest.

Of course, if you were a real governor, and you encountered large predatory animals, you'd be up in the state chopper, blasting away.
